Beyond the Convocation
proactive in reaching out to the peripheries in
culture and society?
o What practical strategies have we implemented as
a result of the Convocation?
o Have we been successful in our efforts?
It is important to set goals for the delegation to meet (bench-
marks, as it were) in the time following the Convocation of
Catholic Leaders, as well as to engage leaders who were unable to
attend. The true success of the Convocation is completely depen-
dent on prayerfully achieving those goals.
Remember: the message of the Convocation is for all Catholic
leaders, and in a real sense, for all the baptized—and we pray
that more missionary disciples may be formed across the United
States as a result of our shared participation in this special
moment in the life of the Church in our nation.
